After visiting the Sri Sri Sri Samartha Sadguru Sai Natha Devalayam, Grama Seva Sangam, Kotta Venkoji Palem, we took a break & reached home. After a Quick Nap & a Refreshing cup of Masala Tea, We decided to go out again on a temple visit.
By then My Brother in Law came back from work. As it was a Saturday, he returned home by 3pm after the Half Day work.
My Brother in Law refreshed & he planned to take us to Simhachalam Hillock to have a Darshan of Sri Varaha Narasimha Swami & also to see some more Baba temples on the way back from Simhachalam.
After a Successful Darshan of Sri Varaha Narasimha Swami at Simhachalam hill, we headed towards Sri Sai Madhava Nagar, Naidu Thotha, Off Simhachalam Main Road to have the Darshan of 5.5ft Marble Statue of Sri Sai Baba at Sri Sri Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Vari Alayam.

Built on a 1/2 Acre Property at Naidu Thotha, this is one of the biggest temples in Visakhapatnam. Still the Construction & finishing phase of the temple is in progress & is looking for devotees to make some contribution to complete Painting & other maintainence of the temple.
